Friday With Brooke Candy – 2.1.13
When I saw the Brooke Candy video for Das Me I quickly put her on my mental list of people I want to photograph. The video was so insane and super catchy and I figured her live performance would make for great photos. So when I heard that she would be playing at Santos Party House I figured I had to check that out. It had to be a weird scene.
Brooke Candy was performing at a Friday night weekly that is amazingly titled “Friday”. It’s a super gay, super wild party that made for some fantastic photos. I have always said that the best parties in NYC are the gay parties and Friday takes that shit to another level. Some of the weirdest fashions I have ever seen were on display. These 20 year old kids are putting some of the most bizarre queers in New York to shame. I cannot even get my head around a football jersey kimono. That’s just some future gay shit I don’t even know about, but I am totally on board. When Michael Alig gets out of jail he is going to be psyched. Oh, did I mention the disco penis?
Brooke Candy finally got on stage around two and while I was photographically disappointed (she performed in a hoodie and jeans) she actually put on a pretty good show and by the end of her 5 song set she had the crowd losing their minds. I was hoping she would be dressed in some cholo space stripper ensamble but I had good time and her fans more than made up for it.
Also, I just realized that the last event I shot was a gay party too, so this website right now is like porn awards, gay party, naked chick, gay party. I will keep that weirdness coming with another naked girl update Monday. It’s always good to confuse your websites sexuality.
